High Carbon Ferro Chrome Powder Introduction
Ferro Chrome (FeCr) is an alloy of chromium and iron containing 50% to 70% chromium by weight. Ferrochrome is produced by electric arc carbothermic reduction of chromite. Most of the world's ferrochrome is produced in South Africa, Kazakhstan and India, which have large domestic chromite resources. Increasing amounts are coming from Russia and China. The production of steel is the largest consumer of ferrochrome, especially the production of stainless steel with chromium content of 10 to 20% is the main application of ferrochrome. Chromium (Cr) is an element of the Periodic Table.

High Carbon Ferro Chrome Powder Features
- Enhanced hardness: high carbon content of ferrochrome can significantly increase the hardness of steel, making it more durable in high stress or wear environments.
- Enhanced wear resistance: The presence of carbon can form carbides in the alloy, improving the wear resistance of the material, making it suitable for use in the manufacture of tool steels, wear-resistant materials, etc.
- Reduced production costs: High carbon ferrochrome is less expensive to produce than low carbon ferrochrome, and is therefore widely used in the production of some steels that do not require high precision.
- Increased brittleness: Higher carbon content may lead to increased brittleness of the material, so it is necessary to balance the carbon content with the strength and toughness of the material in the application.
